About
Hi there 👋
I'm Karthik Puvvada, often called 'KP' by friends and my audience on the Internet.
I’m a 5x founder, podcast host, angel investor, advisor, coach and a leader of the "build in public" movement — that is taking the internet by storm.
Currently, I am leading Founder Relations at Paddle helping create and run founder-facing educational and community programs. Here’s my full bio.
KP’s column is a weekly newsletter to help founders grow their businesses through building in public, creating helpful content and building highly engaging communities. Join 7000+ founders & professionals from top startups like Webflow, Paddle, Stripe, Substack and more.
What people are saying:
KP’s Substack is not only practically useful for anyone who’s building but is also really sincere and has 0 BS. Highly recommend subscribing if you haven’t already. — Artem Harutyunyan
“This newsletter is jam-packed with practical tips, thoughtful insights and philosophical takeaways too” — Gaia Ines Fasso
“Was blown away by how smart and generous KP is” — Marko Schmitt
